    Product Description

    The D800E is a specialized product designed with one thing in mind, pure definition. The D800E incorporates an optical low pass filter (OLPF) without anti-aliasing properties to facilitate the sharpest images possible and is a great option for RAW shooters who are in a position to control light, distance and their subject to the degree where they can mitigate the risk of moiré and any false color.1-Year Limited Warranty.

    From the Manufacturer


    The Nikon D800E

    The Ultimate Attention to Detail

    The D800E is a specialized camera that differs from the D800 in just one way yet requires some extra care to get optimal results. Use the information below to determine if the D800 or D800E is right for you.


    D800 and D800E

    Which is right for you?

    Every Nikon DSLR camera uses an optical low pass filter (OLPF) in front of its sensor to slightly blur the image at a pixel level in order to reduce the occurrence of false colors and moiré that can appear when shooting repetitive and/or fine patterns. For the vast majority of photographers, the D800 provides an ideal balance between sharpness and effectively prevented moiré and false color, ideal for shooting using all file formats. D800E is a specialized camera that removes the "effect" of the OLPF, which results in a slight gain in sharpness and resolution and is recommended for studio and still life professionals but carries an increased possibility that moiré and false color will appear.


    D800 D800E Strikes an ideal balance between sharpness and preventing the occurrence of false color and moiré for consistent performance Slight increase in sharpness and resolution with increased occurrence of false color and moiré Ideal for:
    • All shooting situations
    • Photographers shooting RAW (NEF), JPG or TIFF images
    • Photographers who do not want to adjust their workflow (via software) to mitigate the occurrence of moiré and false color
    Ideal for:
    • Studio, commercial and still life photographers who can control their shooting conditions, lens selection and aperture choice, as well as use of software (Capture NX2) to reduce the occurrence of false color and moiré
    • Medium format photographers whose current digital system does not utilize an optical low pass filter
    • Shooting RAW (NEF)


    What else is different?

    Other than the very slight image quality differences described above, the D800 and D800E perform exactly the same. Focus speed, exposure metering, shooting speed, movie recording, accessory compatibility, control location and function, and all other aspects are identical.



    Reveal every nuance, every detail

    The 36.3 megapixel FX-format advantage

    Wedding, commercial or landscape, the D800E is the ultimate 36.3 MP FX-format camera for creative genius. Witness tonal range and precision rendered to supreme clarity, depth and texture.

    Render every megapixel with precision

    Fast, precise 51-point wide area coverage

    Versatile shooting, fluid operation

    Streamlined ergonomic design puts critical tasks a touch away

    Intuitive design makes D800E operation a thing of beauty.

    Great camera
    5 Stars
    Great camera
    I'm an advanced amateur photog. Had a D7000 for a bit over a year before getting my pre-ordered D800e. As you can guess I waited over 4 month to receive my pre-order. I take comfort in the fact that I placed my pre-order during Amazon's 5% off lightning deal.There are a lot of reviews claiming that D800/D800e are not for beginners/amateurs but I don't see how a D7000 is good for beginners and a D800e isn't while they have almost identical pixel size and require exactly the same shooting technique in order to achieve best results. What will those reviewers say about the 24mp crop sensor in the D3200? Does one have to be a seasoned professional to shoot with such tiny pixels? I guess not because D3200 is an entry level model.I have been shooting strictly with primes since I got into photography, this helps take advantage of the high resolution/pixel-density sensors such as the ones in D800e and D7000. Even though the pixel size is almost the same as D7000 I find the images from D800e overall to be sharper than the ones from D7000 when viewed @ pixel level, probably due to the lack/cancellation of the AA filter.I do not have any problems with the left-most focus point.So far I have seen only one shot with moire among the hundreds of shots I took with the D800e. It appeared on a synthetic fabric with a rather coarse pattern, on the other had I have well over a hundred captures with all kinds of fabrics in them and no moire.I also think this might be one of the last full-frame pro bodies to employ an SLR mechanism. Because at such high resolution when combined with low shutter speeds of slower than 1/100, the mirror-slap does affect image sharpness. There are ways to avoid mirror-slap like using live-view mode, using MUP mode or shooting faster than 1/100 while using the viewfinder, etc. This makes me believe that companies are going to stop utilizing the SLR mechanism in full-frame bodies pretty soon (Sony already did) especially when EVF's and live-view displays are getting better every year, there's also SLT which solves this issue. In the D7000 mirror-slap was less significant because the mirror is smaller in a crop body.Had to upgrade to LR4 in order to process the RAW (NEF) files, which are pretty big. Raided SSD drives sure help when processing such large amounts of data.The AF is fast and accurate. Dynamic range is awesome as the dxomark's score indicates. The grip is the best I have had the pleasure of holding on a digital Nikon body which obviously is a personal preference. ISO performance is excellent at ISO 50-400, very good up to 3200 with 6400 still usable IMHO. Overall I am very happy with this camera.
